new to me mud cleaning system

admin

I have been collecting part and pieces for this for a couple of years. have a military trailer that I'm going to use as the base platform. it will be powered by a 4bt cummins running a triple gear pump Im in the process of sandblasting the trailer its not this one but its a https://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...ater-524902704 I bought surplus. and we are bending up the panels for the water tank that's always fun with the present prices, only messed up one sheet, should hold about 800 gallons of drill fluid. made it out of 10 gauge. the end caps are going to have the support bends not lining up just for ease of fitting. I dont want to try to fit a compound corner, it will be hauled empty. the shaker and cones will sit directly on top of the tank.  Im will try the 16'5 tires but I think they are hard to get, and getting hydraulic pumps and components right now is just a frustrating game. it looks like I can get 19.5 rims that will mount up on the 6 lug hubs, but we will see. Im hoping to stay below 14000 lbs

Reply:Finished sandblasting the trailer, least as good as im going to, of course started raining while i was finishing o well should hold better than up flakey rust. I used that green diamond blasting sand way less dust. had borrowed my brothers breather and helmet. Finally broke down and bought my own i hate borrowing equipment. I had machined a pump to hydraulic motor addaptor in the last couple of weeks in the few spare hours. It was a pump that did not have a standard adaptor mount availabe.  Anyway here is some more pictures the sand of course got wet on the trailer was able to blow it off a few hours later

Reply:Im going to be doing a lot of painting with 2 part paints (clova prime  and armor shield 839) so far I have been using my big airless that we used on house but it seems like Im dumping as much on the ground as on the equipment from overspray. when the paint is over a 100 a gallon seems like a lot of waste Im trying to find a better spraying system have been looking at the 5 stage turbines but dont know if they would push this thick of paint? I could run it off my shop air but it seems to have a lot of water always. so need a separator dryer system. I have 2 drill rigs and multiple pieces of equipment to do so want to set up so its a more bearable job.Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Reply:lol, no that thats my kids, I would be crying like a baby in 30 seconds out there, they just pull out the metal shavings and keep going. i can yell and holler or let them learn the way i did. they have way tougher feet than I ever did I also dont ride a bike in the shopDo not argue with an idiot.

Reply:For equipment like a pressure pot.  I have big one but bought a cheap one from autoparts store (ATD) to use epoxy, bought it for the parts and was gonna put a good gun on it and thought I would try the cheap thingy,,,, hola,,, spray wonderful and thought it was a temporary deal but 30 years later still using it.    Different types of sand for different jobs, rust removal, paint etc and makes a huge difference on efficiency.  2nd,,,, forget all those wi[es, cleaners and solvent's, sandblast, use maroon Scotchbrite and scuff after blasting, blow off with air and paint but,,, DONT skip the scuff.

Reply:Sberry what do you mean by a pressure pot im not following? i have painted with an airless but so much waste and runs, 100’ paintjob looks good at 100’ so this is something im very interested in learning how to do, you posted a picture of a sand blaster thats what im using for the blasting, but on the paint sprayer what do you mean? This paint on an airless requires a 1.7 tip if that makes any sense i could thin the paint i gues never done that but id i need to i will. And thankyou for the info on the scotch brite i will get some 9” ones orderedDo not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Reply:got the tank done cant take credit for that. my help fitted and welded it all up. this is the shale shaker that is going on to it. we are going to build it right into the tank. I will find out if that's a bad idea later on. the sub frames on the shale shakers are incredibly heavy and all the have touching is 4 springs I think it is for crane handling but we will find out I guess

Reply:That shaker should sit on all 4 springs and nothing else so it won't beat the heck out of the stuff it's mounted on. (worked on a lot of rock screens).
